Hotside Pipe and Outlet
I'm giving him a hard time because this is a very sad attempt at advertising!
For the record aftermarket LICPs on stock turbos are a waste of money and at risk for shifting and causing leaks. If you must rice out your car at the very least put a flipping bracket on the thing!

I'm happy with my LICP & haven't run into any problems with it. I believe it helps spool, but honestly can't say for sure & don't have any proof one way or the other.
I think we're on the same page now, sorry for bustin yer ballz

I'll agree this thread obviously wasn't started by a newb that just happened accross this setup & decided to make it his first post. Then by some miracle The guy who sells it just opened an account & ran across this thread.
It is just a little strange that your first post on the forum is in responce to your product within 2 hours of some one posting about it in thier first post on this forum. Not to mention that the thread started has yet to reply in his own thread. It does seem like a cheap trick. I gues it is possible that this thread was not started a marketing ploy, but it doesn't seem that way. I have not said anything bad about the product & have actually commented on the quality being nice looking, but the thread itself does seem a little fishy.
I would love for these guys to explain how this would help spool. At parital throttle or spool up you aren't restricted by anything. The stock pipes certainly are choking the turbe before it reaches full boost.
The stock pipe is aluminum, is fairly light, insulates itself from the glowing hot dowpipe, and has two mounting brackets.
This pipe is steel (not even stainless), is heavier, will act like a heat sponge, has no mounting brackets, and is expensive as a mother. <<<< Dee dee dee....

This thread is hillarious..About the product, there isn't a benefit to expanding the diameter from the outlet pipe vs expanding it later in the lower IC pipe itself. Reason being total flow is restricted by the smallest diameter in the system which in this case is the turbo. If you have a leak then fix it
Simpilified:
You can't push more air out of a 3/8" hose by attaching a 1" hose on the end of it..
As for the spool up:
As covered oh so many ages ago the spool up is due to the Lower IC pipes being less restrictive then the stocker. Though I must point out i'm confused why they made as many bends as they did.

I have this setup on my car and it works real nice.
I am amazed you US guys haven't picked up on this but judging by your comments you have no idea about fluid dynamics. Pretty hillarious really
Why did you drag this one up again? It was just fine where it was! The $500(AUD), + international shipping and handling, cast compressor discharge pipe is nice looking, but the bottom line question is how much power does it add in comparison to other similar products which for example employ a 30* angled silicone connector, and cost 60% less than the item pictured in the original post?
Get real! If you have back-to-back comparative dyno graphs which demonstrate actual gains versus other similar LICP products, then by all means post them up! On the other hand, f you have no way whatsoever to substantiate the advertising claims, then shush!

I see where he went wrong.... he thinks the turbo is compressing fluids!!!!
LOL this POS **** pipe doesn't do a flipping thing except lighten your wallet.
There hasn't been a single stock turbo dyno thread to show gains from any LICP.
The fact that they want over $100 for a piece of bent pipe that a high school kid could make in shop class for $20 is laughable. Must be something in that kangaroo meat that cause those guys to lose touch with reality!!!
